A Joke

A lighting designer and the full stage crew of a touring show were travelling through the desert on a tour bus when there was a dreadfull accident and they were all killed. Off they all went to heaven and they arrived at the Pearly Gates.

God met them personally because after all this was the first lighting designer who'd made it to heaven and he asked the LD if there was anything he wanted to see that he'd never seen when he was alive. Of course the LD said "A perfect blackout". "No Problem" said God and he snapped his fingers and it was dark. So dark you couldn't even see your hand if you held it right in front of your eyes.

After about a minute and a half God said " Is that enough?" and the LD said "Yes, Thankyou." So God snapped his fingers again.

The light came back and in the blackout the stage crew had struck the Pearly Gates.
